Gennerich Dies
Mr. Roosevelt received the reporters just prior to his departure for the opening session of the peace conference. It was one of his few activities up to the time of the parley's inaugural. The sudden death of his personal bodyguard, August (Gus) Qennerlch, in a res-taurant-cabaret early this morning caused cancellation of entertainments planned in the president’s honor.
Regarding removal of restrictions on Argentine exports to the United States, the president expressed the hope that conversations towards a reciprocal trade agreement would be Initiated soon. He explained that the restrictions, especially of Argentine beef, was provided by law rather than by executive action.
Roosevelt Delighted
He said he was delighted with his reception here which he described as "wonderlui" and suggested New Yorkers adopt thc Argentine method of greeting distinguished visitors with flowers instead of ticker-tape and torn-up telephone books.
The president also received 300 American school children in the garden of the American Embassy where a tree was planted to commemorate his visit to Argentina.
